Coachella is a festival that celebrates music and art every year in the Coachella Valley in California. There are many famous artists that come to headline the festival. Many celebrities come to celebrate with good music and good food. This year it took place from Apr.13 to Apr.26.
This year, the artist lineup was exciting. Frank Ocean was a major artist set to perform at the festival, which had fans excited. Frank Ocean had not performed for many years prior to this event. After he suffered an injury at the festival on week one, he was unable to be cleared by his doctor to perform on week two. This left many fans very upset. According to the Official Grammy Awards website, “Weekend two was packed with drama and intrigue, led by the last-minute removal of Frank Ocean from the Sunday lineup due to injury. Fans were already buzzing following his controversial first weekend performance, while organizers worked quickly to replace his headlining set. The results were top notch, closing Coachella on a very energetic and celebratory note.” Frank's removal from the performance was able to be rectified for the festival, but many fans are still disappointed.
Other artists performing were Bad Bunny, A boogie, Blackpink and many others. There were 150 scheduled artists. This was one of the largest groups the festival had ever had. A common theme for Coachella is over-the-top outfits. Summer looks and concert outfits are popular. Many celebrities spend great amounts of time and money to have unique outfits for this festival. According to The Panther, Chapman University's student paper, "The high price tags associated with the cost of attending Coachella and finding clothing to wear to the music festival is something that some students don’t want to spend.” Anyone can attend the festival, but the high prices can limit who goes. Many college-aged students attend and look for ways to keep outfit costs low. The average outfit costs can range from 40-500 dollars. It can get expensive.
